I share the same view with the author that Singapore is somehow indeed lacking in kindness , i found it quite strange as well and could hardly find an appropriate reasoning for it. I somehow feel that when i visit overseas countries there is much more positive interaction between strangers . There is some form of “trust” between them that we seem to lack. Frankly I cannot understand it, its just a different, anyone who have been to multiple countries would perhaps feel that difference too.

Recently, I fell face forward while going up the shaw house escalator and there were 2-4 local couples behind me who saw me falling.Noone even bat an eyelid.I quickly got up jus before the end of the flight so that I wudnt get hurt further.I felt a pain above my left eye and had no idea that I had a cut jus above my eyebrow and it bleeding profusely,which obviously other could.All of the couples came up and passed by right in front of me without even inquiring if am ‘ok’ forget offering any help.When I hurriedly took out my compaq mirror from my purse and saw the amount of blood streaming down my eyelid,I was under sheer shock and started trembling.Thank God my frens were not that far behind and came to my aid and took me to the hospital A&E.The attitude of those people who saw me trip,cut myself, bleed so badly and STILL gave me the cold shouder was/is simply apalling.I still havent gotten over it.As a foreigner,I think you can clearly make out what my opinion is about the “kindness” levels in this country.
